We are coming down to the end of the first path of our life changing journey with Solomon and Elijah. Paper work, red tapes, forms, home studies finger printing, background checks, $$$$$$$, waiting and waiting what seemed like forever, and the list goes on and on. It isn't easy adopting but with my wonderful wife, Michele, and all her loving talents and love for orphans the journey has been quite smooth for me. Our father in heaven has definitely blessed us every step of the way. It is about time to get on the path of action. The trip to Ethiopia! Air flights, different countries, cultures beyond what we have ever experienced, poverty to the extreme,the beauty of the land, people, culture, and God's desires. Giving hope to the hopeless through the spirit of the Lord. Taking the Good news to the nations far and beyond.
We do have some sad news.
We will be leaving Solomon behind in Ethiopia temporarily to have more testing for T.B. The tests will take 8-9 weeks. We have shed our tears of disappointment but now we need to stay focused on God's bigger plan. The first trip we will bring home Elijah. For this is God's plan and we are blessed to be a part of it. There are reasons why he wants us in Ethiopia twice this year. We are excited to be in his plan and find Joy in all things. There is a lesson in itself.
Our time in Addis will consist of getting connected with the boys, getting a visa for Eli, seeing some sights of the city, hopefully meeting there mother and by God's grace we will be meeting up with the family Michele was with in China getting Faith. God definitely throws in nice twist as this. They are picking up two girls and we the boys. Neither of us knew of this taking place. It is all God's timing. Book those odds in Vegas.
We will do our best posting while in Ethiopia so check back through the next few weeks.
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" Psalm 37:4
